Let's speculate.... Who's going to be in Biden's cabinet

Anonymous
I am suprised that no pick has been announced for CIA. I think Biden is going to keep Haspel on for some period of time. Progressives are going to lose their minds.

I am not a progressive and I’d be furious. She oversaw torture. I don’t care that shes a woman, has changed her position on EIT, or is qualified. There has got to be someone else.

You are either the torturer or tortured.

That is not how it works. And the Senate investigation found that the tactics did not work. Its disgusting. There should be no torturers in the cabinet.

+1
DH is an ex-spook (like half of you), and he is appalled at Haspel. Torturing didn’t do anything, and even if it did, we’re trying to be better than that.

She has piloted the Agency through what could have been a very rough time under Trump. I wouldn't put it past him to fire her in the last 30 days just to wreak havoc.

You have no idea what the current state of the CIA is and whether it has survived her and Pompeo intact.

William Burns named as CIA Director - will not be a Cabinet level position.

Seems like a kind of out there choice as a career State Department official. He has an impressive resume, but again, the fit is a little weird.

I have to say, if, as the NY Times story says, the first priority is non-politicization of intelligence I think they are missing the forest for the trees. The problem is/was not within, it was without. A focus on that is just going to frustrate people are create distrust.

^^I do very much like that it's a non-political choice instead of a Democratic Senator, etc.
